Abstract

Drawing on 87 articles retrieved through a systematic literature review approach, this study aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of grassroots innovations (GIs). It synthesizes the state-of-the-art research on GIs and considers various sectors, the tensions between three different facets of grassroots movements (GMs), and the main forces that drive or hinder GMs. The study finds that community energy, community currency, cohousing, agriculture, and organic food are dominant sectors for grassroots innovations, while GMs work under the tension of three facets: scaling up, sustainability, and success. This study also identifies the main driving forces and hindrances for GMs.
